Blocking Around Stair Posts Done Right

Holy screws Batman! Those stairs ain't going anywhere 😅

Better too many screws than an unexpected flight of stairs.😂

Holy screws Batman!

Those stairs will last longer than the pyramids!

Waste. Should have used composite

Sink post properly into ground build off of it vastly more stable v laying on a busted up slab

Fair point, but this setup worked well for the project and it's holding up solid.

Wtf is going on here 🫪

Just building something step by step-it all comes together in the end.

Why 5 screws?

Uh oh, tear it down 😡 You forgot to flash the most important component of the Stair system, the stringers. You should have flashed those like you did the first riser. Just joshin’ you’ll be fine they’re treated.

Good catch! Appreciate you looking that closely

Jeez, that's a lot of screws. What's about all that plastics?

All those screws will cause the boards to split right on that fault line. Should have hired a pro. Ps. Sink the post. All needs to be re done

What is that treated liquid called?

Ach du Scheisse 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That was fucking ridiculous. What a bunch of clickbait bullshit.

Sorry it wasn't what you expected. Thanks for the feedback.

Great craftsmanship right there!

Really appreciate that! Glad you liked the craftsmanship.

Pretty sure the people selling that Seal tape for $35 a Tiny roll made this, worthless overkill...

Fair point! Everyone has their preferred methods -this is just one approach.

That many screws just weakened the lumber.

This guy either works for the fastener manufacturer or has stock in them.

Dang he wasted an entire box of screws for this

wow. someone who actually knows how to build steps correctly 👍💯

Too many screws in one spot. That part of the stringer will fail sooner bc of it. Also, all that tape may cause more problems.

Thanks for this. I was having a great day until I read it and now my IQ has dropped 20 points. Appreciate the contribution!!

Glad I could help you hit today's IQ workout

@grok, what's the black tape and why is it used in this video

This is what 'done right' looks like? My inner carpenter is both impressed and terrified of the screw bill Great job!

Fair enough! Built to last... and the screw supplier is thrilled.

Solid stair build with that heavy blocking and tape.

Appreciate it! Every detail counts.

6 stringers? What is this AI nonsense?

Whole lot of stringers...

Something really dark must have happened on the previous set of stairs
